Which statement about electrons and atomic orbitals is NOT true? (1 point)
An electron has the same amount of energy in all orbitals.
An orbital can contain a maximum of two electrons.
An electron cloud represents all the orbitals in an atom.
An atom’s lowest energy level has only one orbital.

Oh no! I'm not sure how I misread this, but the answer should have been: "An electron has the same amount of energy in all orbitals." The energy of an electron depends on which orbital it is in - higher up orbitals equal more energy.
